I agree with your remark ^^

Each time i read some news about a new framework with tag "blazingly fast", i'm thinking "lol".

So i had to resist to the temptation... And finaly when doing a small benchmark, performances were not bad at all (https://stratdev3.github.io/SimpleW/guide/performances.html) and i let the "clickbait" title.

My targets are small to medium traffic and embeded devices (dotnet/android).

Did you try compiling all the test to native thru AoT? There are probably some optimizations to improve the Kestrel score by altering the config, or maybe changing how the API is written:

app.MapGet("/api/test/hello", () => "Hello World!");

As a general web server, I think I'd always go for Kestrel over this, but as another poster said, if you're trying to add an endpoint to some desktop application, this would be perfect.

You're right.

To be fair, i have to run many other benchmarks including one with the best recommanded optimizations for each projects.

a little time consuming but definetely on my todo list.
